According to the college’s notice, “Rahul Chetry went to the Dibrugarh University and is alleged to be involved in the heinous activities of ragging junior students, causing both physical and mental grevious hurt.” The administration has already declared him an absconder, and he has yet to issue any paper or other type of statement defending himself.”
Notably, Anand Sharma, a first-semester university student, jumped from the third floor of a hostel building to avoid ragging. Rahul Chetry has been missing since the incident occurred.
On the other hand, 22 university students have been expelled for their alleged involvement in the case.
On Friday, the third day of the hearing by Dibrugarh University’s Anti-Ragging Committee, only one student appeared.
“Five students could not attend the hearing because they are in judicial custody,” said DU Registrar Paramananda Sonowal. The ARC is attempting to obtain permission from the appropriate authorities to hold their hearing in the jail.”
He stated that so far, 12 of the 17 students have appeared before the commission.
